Use of prompt cells and negative prompts in Deforum stable diffusion

In this guide, you will learn how to effectively use the function of the Prompt Cells and the negative prompts in Deforum Stable Diffusion. These two elements are crucial to optimize your creative process and improve the quality of your generated images. I will explain step by step how to apply them and what important settings you should consider.

Main Takeaways

Using Prompt Cells allows you to create animations and dynamically alter images. Negative prompts can help you avoid unwanted results and exclude specific elements from your graphics. By playing with the strength of the transitions and individual frames, you can achieve customized results or efficiently remove unwanted elements.

Step-by-Step Guide

Understanding Prompt Cells

First, you should take a look at the Prompt Cells in Deforum Stable Diffusion. These cells are key to creating dynamic content. You can find them by scrolling down a bit. Here, you will have access to various settings that you can use for your designs.

Choosing Image Formats

In the top row of Prompt Cells, you have the option to select various animation modes. For example, by setting a "non" mode, you can create 3D videos. It is important to choose the right setting as the functionality of the prompts below depends on your choice.

Applying Animation Prompts

The Animation Prompts work similarly to the regular prompts you already know. You can switch between different frames. For example, using the frame "beautiful Apple". In the first frame, you see this apple, and then it is transformed into a banana in frames 20 to 30.

Adjusting Transition Strength

You can set the strength of the transformation by entering a value. For example, if you enter 65%, 65% of the first frame will be taken, and the rest will be graduated according to the strength you have chosen. For example, if you want to extend the duration of a banana by 300 frames, you can simply enter this number in the corresponding field.

Excluding Specific Frames

If you want to exclude specific frames, you can easily do this by adding a special label to the cell. This allows you to keep the banana visible from frame 20 to 40 while excluding other elements.

Using Negative Prompts

An important element in Deforum Stable Diffusion is the use of negative prompts. You can either enter these by using a minus sign or by creating a new line followed by curly braces. In this new line, you enter the negative prompts you want to avoid.

Inserting Negative Contents

If you want to exclude "ugly" or "blurry", for example, you can enter these terms in the line. The key is to be creative here and insert the words you do not want to see in your end result. Negative prompts help improve the quality of your created images.

Combining Regular and Negative Prompts

It is also possible to combine regular and negative prompts. For example, while generating a beautiful apple, you can additionally add a negative description for an unwanted effect like "blurry" to the Prompt Cell.

Practical tests and optimization

Be aware that negative prompts theoretically work well, but in practice, they can sometimes explain difficulties. I recommend adding the negative prompts directly to the main prompt cell, which often delivers more reliable results.

Creativity and inspiration

Use platforms like Leonardo and Lexica for further inspirations on styles, negative prompts, or normal prompts. You can get ideas and combine them to achieve the desired effect. Experiment and find out what works best for your project.

Summary

In this guide, you have learned how to use prompt cells to create dynamic content and apply negative prompts to avoid unwanted elements in your images. By experimenting with different frames and transitions, you can achieve impressive results.
